Pockets Full Of Sunshine

cHAPTER 5

Will probably shouldn't have taken the night shift.

But what could he say? He was probably one of the most stubborn demigods in Camp Half Blood besides Nico.

Speaking of Nico-

Will snuck into Nico's room and saw the son of Hades peacefully asleep, his head on the pillow and his his body curled up under the covers. Will checked his vitals and approached beside Nico. It mustered all of his might to not kiss him. Even though Will has fought battles, and cured lots of impossible injuries and done surgeries, this was one of his top struggles.

Not kissing the absolute fuck out of Nico di Angelo.

Will instead moved some of Nico's dark raven hair and  kissed his forehead and left.

That afternoon, Lou Ellen burst into the infirmary and dragged Will out of the infirmary so he could eat. Will wanted to say no, but no wasn't an answer when it came it came to Lou- she would either force it upon you or pity it on you.

And so they sat at the Apollo table, and at that point, after the war of Gaea, some people needed company at their tables since they were still kinda scared or needed someone, so the rule was broken all the time. The campers always thought why Chiron hadn't removed the rule, since he wasn't bothered by it and he was usually the person that was always strict on the rules. 

Soon enough, Jason joined Will at his table.

"What's up Will?" He asked.

"Not much, just infirmary stuff and checking up on Nico in his room." Will replied.

Jason gasped and slammed his hands on the table. "YOU FUCKED THE ITALIAN KID?!"

Will chocked on his food and started coughing violently then. "WHAT?! NO, OF COURSE NOT! I CHECKED HIS VITALS YOU IDIOT!" 

Jason groaned. "When are you guys gonna admit you like eachother?"

"W-We don't even like eachother!"

"I'm dating the daughter of Aphrodite, and even without her, I can tell you guys have a thing for each other." 

Will rolled his eyes and just headed to the infirmary.

Will walked into Nico's room, and saw the boy looking out the window with his arms crossed.

"I'm bored, I haven't seen you all day." Nico mumbled.

"Sorry, had some stuff going on. What are you gonna do?"

"Wanna just.. hang out here for the rest of the day?"

Will wanted to die so badly. 

His crush.

Had just asked him.

To stay with him.

Will felt his soul leave his body.

But nonetheless he said yes and he sat at the foot of Nico's bed.

"What do you wanna talk about?" Will asked.

"No idea." Nico replied.

So they just sat there.

In silence.

"So, anything, new?" Nico asked, after a while.

"Not really, just infirmary stuff." 

Nico groaned slightly. "It's always the infirmary."

"I'm the head medic for a reason. What do you want me to do?"

Nico thought for a moment. "I don't know."

"Exactly, now you wanna talk about something else or play this little game?"

They talked about some camp drama for like another hour- but it felt good. After that hour, Will (reluctantly) got up and said, 

"You need to get some rest."

As Will was leaving, he heard Nico say,

"Can you maybe... stay here with me?"

Good thing Will had turned off the lights, because he was bLUSHING SO HARD AT THE MOMENT

He didn't know if it was because of how tired he was or because he wanted to snuggle with Nico, but he didn't argue and got beside Nico on the bed. He stared off into space as his eyes started getting extremely heavy, and before he fell asleep, felt something wrap around him.
